[al-Monitor] Twenty-five House Democrats unsuccessfully wrote to President Barack ObamaI think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... earlier this month to urge him to end US support for the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... before Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... took over.
